How common is it for a chicken to hatch their eggs? My red comet gets broody and upset when I take them, I almost feel bad. Is there any way she could raise chicks without an incubator?
That's exciting! He had pasty butt so bad he almost didn't make it when I got him so I've always had a soft spot for him. I'm glad him being a Cockerel won't make him hate me hahah
But the blue looks like a female?
They're four, almost five months I believe. The rural king told me they were a week when I got them but I learned on here yesterday that may not have been the case.
I've had both of these chickens since about a week old. I never thought I'd own chickens, but the conditions they were in at the supply store were heartbreaking and now here we are. I'm not entirely sure of the breed or gender of either, my golden comet has already began laying so I know she's a...
I did notice that the other chicks I had that were a bit younger than her went through the cycles of growing and losing their feathers a couple times quicker than she did
I actually keep them inside at night to avoid predation and she laid them both inside, in a very open spot where I'm sure they weren't at the day before. That was my first thought aswell but I check in on them multiple times at night and in the morning.
I'm not positive, this is my first time owning chickens and I got her from rural king where they knew just about as much as I did. Would never buy from them again but hated seeing these babies in bins dying. From the charts I found online though she looked to be a week when I got her.
